Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

This cuts off the range of '1-2' or in this case the range from 1 to 2 characters inclusive (the first two characters). For example it would be 5-23 if you wanted to cut off characters 5 to 23 inclusive.

Can you please let me know where to download the files listed in shell-scripting.pdf? http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/ does not work. I also not able to download other files, emails1.txt, emails2.txt emails3.txt columns.txt telnum.txt. I would really appreciate if someone can tell me where to get these files.

I'm trying to combine two text files and remove common phrases in each file. I've done that with
'comm -3 text1.txt text2.txt > new.txt'
But it puts them in columns so I have a column for text1 and a column for text2 so I did
'comm -3 --output-delimiter=0 text1.txt text2.txt > new.txt'
but now I have 0's in front of text2 phrases. I was wondering if there was anything I could && or | to, to remove the 0's or maybe even a better way of doing this. I would greatly appreciate any nudges in the right direction.
